A basic solution is a solution with a pH greater than 7, indicating a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻) compared to hydrogen ions (H⁺). In aqueous solutions, basicity often arises from the presence of soluble bases, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH), which dissociate to release hydroxide ions. Basic solutions can neutralize acids and are characterized by a slippery feel and a bitter taste.
